The woman was admitted to civic-run Kasturba Hospital on August 30 and shifted to Nair Hospital the same as her condition worsened, she said.

"The victim came very late for treatment. She undertook treatment at a private doctor for five days and came to Kasturba on August 30 with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Her throat swab was taken and she was given given Tamiflu," Mhaiskar said.

Pune has recorded the highest number of deaths at 32, followed by Mumbai and Thane (11), Nashik (7), Latur, Beed two each and Dhule, Aurangabad, Jalna one each, Health Secretary Sharvari Gokhale said.

Besides Pune, one patient in Mumbai's civic hospital and five in private hospitals have been put on ventilators as their condition is serious, she said.

MUMBAI: A 25-year-old woman from Virar became the tenth person to succumb to swine flu in the city on Tuesday. Gayatri Pujari, who had a history of
high blood pressure, died of complications resulting from sepsis and heart infection at Nair Hospital at 5 pm.

This is the fourth case of a resident of Mumbai's satellite township dying of swine flu after being brought to Mumbai for treatment. TOI had last month pointed out that screening facilities in the satellite townships lag behind those in Mumbai. In Virar there is no screening centre. The nearest is Borivli's Bhagwati Hospital.

Pujari, a resident of Maitri Park, was brought to Kasturba Hospital late on Sunday evening in a critical state. Officials said she had been suffering from fever and breathlessness for a week and was being treated by a private doctor. She was then admitted to Borivli's Apex Hospital on Sunday, from where she was immediately referred to Kasturba.
